Named user log in with oAuth2 using the REST API

ChristopherMugdan — Tue, 17 Sep 2019 05:58:07 GMT

I have been searching for the method to use to obtain named user tokens (as opposed to app sign in) with the oAuth2 mechanism in the REST API but I have not found anything about it. The pages I found on the Esri site referred to it but did not describe it. Currently I am using the generateToken method.

Can anyone direct me to some useful documentation?

Hi,

OAuth2 Root—ArcGIS REST API: Users, groups, and content | ArcGIS for Developers

which uses the standard oauth2 workflow. there are alot of articles on OAuth 2 and their principles will apply.

for example - https://itnext.io/an-oauth-2-0-introduction-for-beginners-6e386b19f7a9

Hope that helps

Hi Victor,

Thanks very much for the response. Having perused the documentstion I have decided that our application cannot use the oAuth2 mechanism and we shall be staying with the generateToken request.
